Awful news. Writer (and musician and comedian) Pat McGreal died this morning. I don't know his age. I don't know the cause of death. I only know that he was an awfully nice and talented guy.
Pat was a prolific writer of Disney Comics for the Egmont Company overseas, much of it later republished in this country. His non-Disney work included three graphic novels for DC/Vertigo: Chiaroscro; The Private Lives of Leonardo DaVinci, Veils and I, Paparazzi. Among the comic books he wrote for were Captain Marvel, Tarzan, The Simpsons, Judge Dredd, The Flash, Justice League, Indiana Jones, Martian Manhunter and Fighting American.
He was an Eisner Award nominee and a past president of the Comic Art Professonal Society. And a real good person to be around.
